Abstract:
In the context of wearable textile systems, antennas are needed that exploit diversity and exhibit robustness to harsh environmental conditions. A novel dual-polarized, textile patch antenna, on a fire-retardant and water-repellent substrate, was designed and realized. Extensive performance measurements and simulations in open-space and on-body situations showed promising results.
